Arterial Aneurysms Treatment Cost in Saudi Arabia

An Arterial Aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta. The aorta is a major artery that transports blood from the heart throughout the chest and torso.

Arterial Aneurysms have the potential to either dissect or rupture, which are the leading causes of death related to this condition.

Aortic Aneurysm Endograft Repair

This is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat aortic aneurysms. 

• An endograft (stents covered with impermeable fabric) is inserted through a small puncture in the thigh. 
• Under live X-ray guidance, the endograft is positioned to create an internal conduit, or bridge, for blood flow, thus depressurizing the aneurysm and eliminating the risk of rupture.

Aneurysm Embolization and Stent Placement

Vascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure to treat aneurysms at risk for rupture and bleeding. 

• X-ray guidance is used to navigate a catheter through the arteries to the aneurysm. 
• Small metal coils are then used to fill the abnormal artery.
• The small metal coils block blood flow to the aneurysm and prevent the risk of rupture. 
• A graft creates an internal bridge (stent) for blood flow, depressurizing the aneurysm and preventing the risk of rupture.

Open Surgery

In open surgery, a surgeon performs the graft or removes the aneurysm through an incision.

Endovascular Coiling

• The surgeon inserts multiple coils through a catheter to pack the aneurysm in this procedure. 
• This further reduces blood flow to the aneurysm and eliminates the risk of rupture. This procedure treats cerebral aneurysms.

Microvascular Clipping

It is a type of open brain surgery that treats cerebral aneurysms. The surgeon cuts off the blood supply by placing a metal clip at the aneurysm's base.
